Department of Health Cleaning and Disinfection Guidelines for Commercial Vessels
The Infection Control Expert Group (ICEG) has developed routine environmental cleaning guidelines in the community which are now published on the Department of Health website.
Whilst ICEG have not developed a separate maritime-specific guideline for cleaning, this guideline covers cleaning requirements for frequently touched surfaces and minimally touched surfaces and ICEG are satisfied that it is directly applicable to the maritime environment.
A link to this information, along with information regarding routine cleaning in the maritime environment, has been added to the factsheet for the marine industry.
